Sometimes It's This Easy: Default Judgment in Copyright Dispute

The Eastern District of Missouri granted default judgment in Warner Bros. Records, Inc. v. Heller, 2006 WL 3803705 (E.D. Mo. 11/13/06).

 

Warner Brothers Records brought suit for copyright infringement for Heller's use of an online media distribution system to download and distribute 10 of Warner Brothers' sound recordings. Heller never filed an answer or otherwise defended the lawsuit.

 

The court granted default judgment and awarded statutory damages of $750 per work (the statutory minimum) for a total of $7,500.
